1. Following are the total scores of three subjects of seventy four year 8 students from a high school.
(a)(i) Find the five number summary for this data set.
(ii) Determine whether there are any outliers and sketch a box-plot showing clearly thresholds and outliers (if any).
(iii) Describe the shape of this distribution.
(b)(i) Find the mean, variance and the coefficient of variation of this data set.
(ii) What proportion of total scores are within 1 standard deviation of the mean? Compare this proportion with the corresponding empirical rule and comment.
2. (a) Jonka tries to connect to his internet service provider. The probability that he connects on any single attempt is 0.85 .
(i) What is the probability that he connects for the first time on his second attempt?
(ii) He decides to attempt only three times to connect to his internet. List all possible outcomes and draw a suitable tree diagram to represent this experiment.
(iii) What is the probability that he is still not connected after his third attempt?
(b) A particular binomial distribution, X B(n; p) has the mean 4 and variance 3.
(i) Find the values of n and p:
(ii) Find the probability, P(6 ≤ X ≤ 8) close to four dp using your calculator. Check your answer with R and give the corresponding command/s together with the output and answer.
(c) In a game, three regular, six-sided dice are thrown once. Find the probability of observing three di erent numbers. A player claims that you expect to see three di erent numbers on the dice in at least half of the games. Is the player correct? Justify your answer.
3. The weights of cans of soup produced by a company are normally distributed with a mean of 15g and a standard deviation of 0.5g.
(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected can of soup will weigh
(i) at least 14.3g and (ii) within 14.3g and 15.3g.
(b) Find the minimum weight of the heaviest 5% of cans of soup produced.
(c) If the soup cans are packed into boxes of 25 cans each, state the distribution of the weigh of a box. Hence find the probability that a randomly selected box weighs less than 370g.
(d) A manager has doubt on the true mean and true standard deviation and so he discards these informations. From the 25 cans in a randomly selected box, he finds the sample mean weight and sample standard deviation are 14.8g and 0.4g respectively.
(i) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean. Based on the confidence interval, is the true mean likely to be 15g?
(ii) If the true mean is 15g, find the probability of observing a sample mean of 14.8g or less. Again, based on this probability, is the true mean likely to be 15g?
